Hello!

This is a overhauled version of Hypixel's Resource Pack Converter, updated to fix many of the bugs that their software had introduced. This version also updates to the latest update of Minecraft Java Edition: (as I'm writing this) 1.15

To run the software (from 1.2 to 1.13), run this command with the pack in the same folder as the jar:
java -jar ResourcePackConverter.jar


There are also some handy parameters to control versions to convert to! Try using something like this where (from) is the version you want to convert from (base versions) like 1.15 and (to) is the version you want to convert to (like 1.16.2)
java -jar ResourcePackConverter.jar --from (from) --to (to)
With the 1.15.2 update, there is a new feature with lighting. To use this feature with older versions, add this parameter to your run command:
--light (front)or
--light (side)
Thanks, agentdid127


(also, if you come across any bugs, please put them in the comments section here)


If the Download Link does not work for whatever reason,
This should work for you.

Hi there, I have this on my Mac in hopes of converting a pack from 1.8 to 1.16. I typed this command, and get no errors but no results. Any ideas?

java -jar /Users/henry/Downloads/ResourcePackConverter.jar --from 1.8 --to 1.16

the jar and pack are both in my downloads folder

You need to run the java command for it Ex:

java -jar ResourcePackConverter.jar --from 1.8 --to 1.16

I tried converting a Resource Pack called "Halcyon Days 3D 1.8 v1.0" with this but sadly it doesn't seem to convert properly. Some paintings aren't applied the correct size to, planks aren't textured correctly (they should appear as crates, not normal planks) and some other replacement models make the ground transparent.

Still works well to get it somewhat going tho!

Which version are you using? the latest release or the prerelease? and there is a newer thing with the latest versions of the game that does make the ground transparent in newer versions of the game (I think 1.12+ but not sure)

Thank you so much for making this!
I'm so glad I found this before I went crazy trying to poke around with all the JSON files.

I converted the GhibliCraft resource pack (EU) from 1.12 to 1.16

A few things that didn't work:
- chests: single chest wasn't properly skinned, the double chest was vanilla.
I tried converting the chests myself before I found your tool and they use 2 different system for skinning chests. It can be seen just from the textures themselves.

- custom models: Some models stayed vanilla, some smaller ones, you can see through the ground around them.

I didn't expect that it would convert everything 100% accurately but your program did convert a good part of it which I'm pleasantly surprised by.

Thank you again!

I think in 1.13 Mojang stopped rendering the upper face of a block if it was immediately below another non-transparent block (as you never see that face of the block, it's pointless rendering it).

I had the same issue as you with the GhibliCraft Japanese pack where 'sandals' had an x-ray effect below them. The reason being the 'sandals' were based on the redstone_repeater block which has a full, non-transparent base, and so the upper face of the block below it is not rendered in 1.13+. And because the 'sandals' models don't have a solid base you can see through the non-rendered face below it.

I don't think the pack converter can really do anything about that.

If it helps, what I decided to do was manually change the block from a redstone_repeater to something without a solid base (to ensure the block face below is rendered). Decided on wooden butttons which didn't exist in 1.12 and renamed the existing redstone_repeater models to button models.

Then rather tediously went round the map replacing all the redstone_repeaters with wooden buttons.

I tried to convert from 1.16 to 1.8 with the code "java -jar ResourcePackConverter.jar --from (1.16) --to (1.8)" in the command prompt and I get this: "

You can only convert a pack from an older version to a newer version, e.g. 1.8 -> 1.16, not the reverse direction.

the program does not change any item names (example wood_shovel is not wooden_shovel)
and also any directory names(items is not item)

You'd have to remove a lot of textures, edit about a million JSON files to fit a very strict syntax, removing most of the file,

update the lang to it's former version...


so yeah, there's a lot

Hi! This is really great tool, thank you so much! I have some issues on my side (I must admit i'm just starting with ressource pack so sorry if my issues are somewhat simple. I am trying to convert this pack to 1.16.3 to play with a friend who is confined indoor and missing out her favorite season: fall. This pack seem very nice looking and I'm sure it would soothe her a little to enjoy some form of "outdoor fall beauty" while she must stay inside.



I tried your converter and it work partly (maybe the error is on my side) Many elements have the nice updated texture but many seem to show the purple/black error checker. One of these block is the grass block (the dirt block is fine and many tree/foliage are too)



When I typed down your command I've put 1.12 to 1.16.3

Any help would be very much appreciated, I want to make the world a little brighter for my friend in these dark days.



Thank you very much for your time!

Looking at this, the creator of the pack had added some default models to the pack. For this to work, I'd have to write some stuff that fixes parenting in the pack. It's doable, just would take some time. I would suggest extracting the zip file and deleting the files that start with grass_ in the models/block folder. That should still work for you, though I will try and find some time to fix this.

I think I've got the same or a very similar issue as ThyMainGuy. Converted a resource pack from 1.12 to 1.16.1 but a few blocks show the purple/black error texture, while other textures updated just fine. Some of those blocks are the grass blocks, hay bales, wheat crops, trapdoors and logs.



Any update on the fix?

From what I'm reading, It seems that it's trying to rename "endercystal" to end_crystal

however the file already exists. Do you happen to have both a "end_crystal" and endercrystal file?

Ok, sorry for being a newbie, but where do I type those commands? I put the file in the same folder as my pack, when I double click it, my pack is updated to 1.13. I want to update it to 1.15.2.

I tried typing stuff in the command prompt, but no dice. Help?

You have to make your way into that folder via command prompt. Say that my file is in



C:/Users/Alex/Convert/



I'd have to type `cd convert`

or you can type `C:/Users/Alex/Convert/`



Before you run the command.



Also, no parenthesis in your versions with the command

It should convert the models folder. What particular issue are you having with it? By any chance do you have both an item/ and items/ texture folder in your pack? That may be your issue

I fixed the problem, I had to remove the block folder from the Models folder. idk why but it worked.
I only use the Item part of models so it was fine to remove it.

I have a request:I have, for example a bed; in the 1.8 there were multiple files and in the 1.15 there's only one. Can you make the program put the files into one, too?

I think that would be a lot of coding, but i'm sure you can do it ^^

It's possible for certain things. Other things that are more commonly used in newer packs, like Custom Model Data, aren't doable, since it was added in 1.14, and there's no way to backtrack past that.
